Just move or target to a business that outsources and offer to supply the same thig for the same price but with local service and support. That way, you will have no trouble finding the economic backbone to support your business while it takes form in the beginning. you couléd also just find a product that is easy to make and is cheap and flog it on ebay or amazon. every little bit helps.

I concur with this. If you have a good marketing team, you should be able to strike a good deal with retailers - but you first have to specialize your product - and to do this, you might still have to do some market research. What I would advise in this case is to start small and build it from there. It will take some time but resilience goes a long way in business.

Yup, like a supermarket chain. Get marketers and let them look for a retailer to make your stuff exposed to your customers. For example, if you are making elegant parts for stuff, you can use this opportunity to explore the market and fine tune your offers into prospects.

Nothing good comes easy but if you approach the market with hardwork and determination then you can as well be sure that one day you will make it financially. (add a little patience) CNC is profitable enough to live from. Just get started and don't allow anyone or any situation discourage you.

If you are entering the market for the first time and you are aiming at making profit immediately, you might end up failing. you need to build a good base. you need to invest more at start up and be patient till you break-even
